The Story of Ireland is a five part groundbreaking new BBC series presented by Fergal Keane about the history of Ireland cultural, social, and economic, and its role on the international stage.

Ireland is living through a significant period in its cycle of history since the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, the island has been at peace. This is unprecedented in the history of modern Ireland and so seems like a perfect time to reflect on the Irish as a people now, as a modern European nation, and how we got to this place.
